Real Madrid have ended their pursuit of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.
The Guardian says Real Madrid know the stopper's United contract extension has all but ended their hopes of landing him.
For that reason Bernabeu chiefs are now apparently focused on prising Thibaut Courtois away from Chelsea.
The goalkeeper is tied down at Stamford Bridge until 2019 and is likely to be offered fresh terms at the end of the season, reports the Daily Star.
Real Madrid believe Courtois would be interested in making a return to the Spanish capital - despite public insistence otherwise.
